I was looking for a new recipe and came across this one for banana oatmeal cookies, from The Burlap Bag. The only two ingredients you really need are bananas and oats! The rest are optional mix ins. I chose to add chocolate chips, walnuts, and cinnamon. You could add raisins or other dried fruit, coconut, peanut butter chips, sunflower seeds. Or just keep it simple with the two ingredients! These are really easy and healthy, and taste just like banana bread. Be sure to use overripe bananas for optimal flavor!
Recipe:
2 large bananas
1 cup uncooked rolled oats
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 F and grease a cookie sheet. In a bowl, mash together the bananas and rolled oats. Add in desired mix-ins! Drop on the greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Makes about 14-16 cookies.

As you can see the cookies really don't spread at all, so be sure shape the dough if desired before baking!
